Dovid Douglcs' Tree

More than one hundred years ago, a young Scotchman named David Douglas felt the call of the West and voyaged to the Pacific Northwest. Douglas was a naturalist and, in the woods of Oregon, he found a naturalist's paradise. Among the wonders that he saw in that virgin forest was a tree that interested him and those that came after him. He thought it was some new kind of Pine. It was like a Fir in the flexible quality of its needles; like a Spruce in its habit of bearing cones that hang downward from the twigs; like a Hemlock in the way its twigs droop; and like a Pine in the appearance of the wood. No wonder it puzzled David Douglas.

Then the United States Forest Service called it officially Douglas Fir, and a memorial to the young explorer who was so interested that he told the world about it.
